Compete locally, advance nationally
A national amateur golf league is bringing its flexible, competition-driven format to Long Island.
The REV Tour has announced the launch of its Long Island chapter, with play set to begin in May. Registration is now open for founding members across the region.
Originally founded in Utah, the REV Tour has expanded nationwide by offering an alternative to traditional amateur leagues, where golfers are often required to compete in single-day events. Instead, players are assigned local courses and given a seven-day window to complete each round and submit their scores.
“The REV Tour is competitive golf without the pressure, cost or logistical challenges of traditional leagues,” said Joe Buckley, founder of REV Tour Long Island. “Long Island golfers deserve an option that fits competitive golf into their busy schedules — and that’s exactly what REV provides.”
The league is open to men, women and junior golfers, with an emphasis on accessibility, flexibility and community.
How it works
Each season is broken into three eight-week sessions. During each session, players complete one round per week at participating local courses.
Scores are submitted online and evaluated using the REV Index, the league’s ranking system that groups golfers into skill-based flights for fair competition.
Of the eight rounds played in a session, a player’s best five scores count toward their ranking, allowing for missed rounds or off days without eliminating them from contention.
At the end of each season, top performers in each flight advance to regional championships. Top finishers there can qualify for a national event held at a premier golf destination.
Founding member perks
To mark the Long Island launch, the REV Tour is offering incentives for early registrants.
Founding members who sign up now can receive $75 off membership using a promotional code. Additional perks include a swag bag valued at more than $100, access to raffles and prizes, and tee-time assistance through partner courses.
“We are creating an environment where regular golfers can compete on a level playing field,” Buckley said. “While the intent is to bring competitiveness to the game, we’ve done it in a way that makes it more fun and builds community.”
Registration is available online, with organizers aiming to establish a strong local base ahead of the tour’s debut season.
